Explore "The Woman that Lifted up her Voice" by George MacDonald on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Filled with his words of truth and right, / Her heart will break or cry: / A woman's cry bursts forth in might / Of loving agony.
"Blessed the womb, thee, Lord, that bare! / The bosom that thee fed! " / A moment's silence filled the air, / All heard the words she said.
He turns his face: he knows the cry, / The fountain whence it springs -- / A woman's heart that glad would die / For woman's best of things.
Good thoughts, though laggard in the rear, / He never quenched or chode: / "Yea, rather, blessed they that hear / And keep the word of God!"
He would uplift her, not rebuke. / The crowd began to stir. / We miss how she the answer took; / We hear no more of her.
